BOO HOO! Now that I'm home, live cam is down :>( Read all the posts & see problem is in Wheeling. Thx Steve and John for all your hard work.
Saw still cam at work & in PM, saw one chick sleeping at about 9 o'clock. Looked like it's head was at the edge of the nest!!!!Scarey!!!
Paula, Have a nice B'day evening playing in the dirt!

NatureNut said...

WOW. I made the SPLIT!!
Will try to get eagle pics on here tonight.

paula eagleholic said...

Big thunder here now!

NatureNut said...

Uh Oh, Paula. You may be playing in the mud!! :>)
We still have sun, but I think it's gonna get yucky---probably for tomorrow since I have to go to Park.
Finland osprey/sea eagle cam is
http://www.natureit.net/
Someone asked for it earlier

MITS said...

that was quite a wing-span that BWE chick just did

paula eagleholic said...

OUr chicks looks like one big blog in the nest!

paula eagleholic said...

Blob not blog!!

deb said...

Just got caught up. Paula, I am watching BC on Real Player.

paula eagleholic said...

Parent back our nest....from the back right.

deb said...

Does anyone have the Wildwatch Osprey cam open?

deb said...

deb said...

Whatever was at Wild watch is gone.

deb said...

Ha! It is an osprey tail!

MITS said...

no eagle up in MAINE, but I have never heard so much seagull yelling when it is this dark???

deb said...

Just turned it on, it is noisy!

MITS said...

it reminds me of when fish are running and the gulls just kinda keep diving after them, but so unsusal with it being dark unless there is a fishing boat nearby

deb said...

I went and read on the Maine forum. Someone wonder if a bait boat came in. Another saw lots of ducks earlier today, they could be adding to the noise.

MITS said...

could be, never have heard this much commotion before at night

Lolly said...

It looks like Belle is covering the eaglets!?????? Surely they are getting too big for this!

Had a great day outside working. Jack built a fire in the chiminea and we have been sitting outside enjoying the beautiful evening. Plan to cook dinner and eat on the patio.

Sorry it rained Paula. Maybe tomorrow will be a great day for you to work outside.

I have daughter and two grandsons coming tomorrow to stay the night and stay Sunday. Will enjoy them and not work outside, but sit and watch the boys play. And, push them in the tree swing.

MITS said...

sounds nice, Lolly:)

paula eagleholic said...

Belle was standing in the middle of the nest, now looks like she is picking at a stick on the right side

paula eagleholic said...

So Kent 2 view is really Kent 3?

paula eagleholic said...

Belle back down in the middle of the nest...head tucked in

Osprey in WA

paula eagleholic said...

Now belle is awake

deb said...

Sirens in Maine??

deb said...

LIVE FEED IS BACK!!

deb said...

Paula, Kent 2 is now really Kent 2. They switched them back.

Mema Jo said...

Just came back online
Is everyone's live feed up & running as mine is?
I had said earlier that at their bedtime it would come on...
Tenting due to raindrops I think

MITS said...

mine is up too

deb said...

They turned off the owl cams for the year. :(

Mema Jo said...

We really had a steady downpour for an hour or so earlier this evening.
The kind of rain you wish for when it's so dry during the summer. It calls for rain tomorrow in the area.
Looks like one of them or all 5 of them moved that very large stick that was on the left side in the nest.

Rain doesn't stop Spidey - does it?

Mema Jo said...

Deb - the barn owl cam at Wildwatch turned out to be very very sad!
It had such a good start with the 6 eggs.

Mema Jo said...

I have decided only to watch Great Horned Owls - They have fewer eggs & they most always survive.

I am anxious to see what baby heronetts do! They must eat a variety of things!

Mema Jo said...

Feeding at TH

deb said...

Eagle in OR.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle is tenting as best she can over the pile of eaglets.

deb said...

I keep wanting to see a feeding for the herons, but haven't seen one yet.

Both eagles in OR.

paula eagleholic said...

YAY!

Live feed on here too!

paula eagleholic said...

Peepers at PH are stuffed full and passed out!

paula eagleholic said...

I couldn't get the heron cam to come on..

Mema Jo said...

The heron cam took a very lengthly time for it to come up for me just a few minutes ago.

Paula try this link = It's new for the streaming video cam..

http://wdfw.wa.gov/wildwatch/heroncam/
index.html

floralgirl said...

Pretty intense storms passing by nest right now. Heavy rain and lots of thunder and lightning.

Mema Jo said...

Pulled up NBG cam - I think there is an eagle in the nest - I haven't been keeping up to date - Are they incubating egg(s) there?

Mema Jo said...

CO eaglets look like ours did about one month ago! Ours are the Best Fed On The East Coast!

Mema Jo said...

RAIN again at our NEST

paula eagleholic said...

Spideys web is really blowing, can you see the lightening flashing?

floralgirl said...

I see it out my window, this is one wicked storm-

NatureNut said...

Finally got my newest eagle pics on blog.
Jo, I read where NBG female had layed a 5th egg.(So she's sitting on 1) Don't know if there are any more. Doubt it--poor thing.

paula eagleholic said...

Maybe I didn't wait long enough, Jo. I'll try it again.

paula eagleholic said...

It came on this time

paula eagleholic said...

Belle trying to tent more.

paula eagleholic said...

Quality on my heron cam is very poor, though. Very pixelated.

MITS said...

raining over in Scotland also, and Momma was just standing there looking down at her 50th egg!

Mema Jo said...

Second storm coming into the valley now. I think this is going to go off & on throughout the night......

paula eagleholic said...

For the Heron cam, put this in your WMP - works much better!

http://www.onenetplace.net/BlueHeron.asx

Mema Jo said...

I saw the lightning at the nest...

and also right outside here at the house.

Emergency equip going up the road..
Pray no one is hurt.

Mema Jo said...

I hope she doesn't let the 50th egg get too wet........

deb said...

That's what I get for the heron cam, too, Paula.

Both eagles are still in OR, one on the branch to the right, one on the branch above the nest.

Mema Jo said...

paula eagleholic said...

Bigger boomers here now...

paula eagleholic said...

Sirens just went of here too

paula eagleholic said...

Big wing flaps to get the wet off

Mema Jo said...

Whatever you saw on the Osprey Wildwatch cam has returned.

I would think it is the Osprey up on the camera. Earlier I saw the male osprey on the platform..

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, cool looking wings on that osprey

paula eagleholic said...

Another big shake - man her wings are huge!

paula eagleholic said...

belle is like a super tent now!

Mema Jo said...

I haven't seen any little beaks peeking out from under their mom.lol

paula eagleholic said...

Nice action shot on the BWE page. I saw that call, but only the last second or two...too quick for me to snap a pic. Don't see any tenting going on down there.

paula eagleholic said...

Ground here should be nice and wet for digging tomorrow. So long as there is no thunder or lightening, I can go out and dig in the rain.

paula eagleholic said...

There went my dish tv...

paula eagleholic said...

Could use both parents tenting tonight...

Mema Jo said...

Does the weather cause that to go out, Paula

MITS said...

yes, Paula, like the CO parents and the snow yesterday often wonder why they don't do that?

Mema Jo said...

The Scottish osprey is still standing over the one egg in the rain..Has not nested on it yet!

Maybe she is getting ready for #51

Mema Jo said...

Paula I am going to get a chocolate cupcake & some ice cream and celebrate your birthday.

Here's to ya! Another good year coming at ya!


Man!that was a wicked lightning flash

Mema Jo said...

Whoops! I see something under
that wing!

paula eagleholic said...

Sometimes the dish goes out in a bad storm, like tonight...it was out for about 15 minutes at most

Mmmm sounds good Jo. I had some cheesecake :)

deb said...

There is a hole in the last heron egg.

deb said...

The heronettes peck at each other, too.

paula eagleholic said...

Hmmm, maybe 10 minutes, it's been 15 since I said that....

Looks like belle is trying to get the chicks under her.

Mema Jo said...

Great! 4 little heronetts to watch.



Just looked at Naturenut Nook
Eagle pictures are great.

paula eagleholic said...

heronettes! ha ha like that one deb

floralgirl said...

Wow- that was one intense storm ..

deb said...

Sounds like a dance team, but with those long legs, it works! I will have to see if there is a real term to use.

MITS said...

just starting to rain here...

Mema Jo said...

It is still raining here from the 2nd one that is going through. Also hasn't stopped at the nest.

Wish I had a tin roof at times.

deb said...

I only found them called baby herons. Here is some info on Great Blues from the Wildwatch site, if you haven't seen it before:

Great Blue Herons

Mema Jo said...

YUCK! Ticks have started.
Hubby just found one on the
cat. (Cat is outside a lot)

deb said...

We got 1.69" of rain yesterday. It was supposed to snow, but luckily, it was too warm. Parts of SD got 15" of snow, yesterday. ICK!

deb said...

Eagle at Kent 1.

Mema Jo said...

Belle just had another Wing Fling!

Water flying everywhere.
It is better then any old snow storm!
She has got to be a little uncomfortable with the commotion beneath!

deb said...

I think there is a sea eagle in Finland, sun just coming up.

paula eagleholic said...

MITS said...

I can't tell if it is sea eagle or osprey

MITS said...

looks like sea eagle, Deb.

Mema Jo said...

That is so cool watching the Finland cam and seeing it get lighter & lighter as the sun rises.

Mema Jo said...

Definitely a Sea Eagle
Just saw a very large beak

deb said...

it is really beautiful, isn't it? Too bad there isn't a bird cam tour to sign up for. You could visit all these beautiful places. Eagle was calling at Finland.

deb said...

Oh, it left. :(

NatureNut said...

Just saw the Finland sea eagle. What a beautiful view. Wish the eagles would get that nest, even tho I like ospreys, too.

deb said...

I am pulling for the sea eagles, we have other ospreys to watch!

floralgirl said...

Rain has stopped here and at the nest.

NatureNut said...

Some up and stretching legs in nest.

Mema Jo said...

Rain must have stopped
Belle not tenting now
Little dry eaglets still sleeping

NatureNut said...

Very windy at nest, but not strong enough to take down Spidey's web! Raining down here now.

Mema Jo said...

I guess BW refuge could get rain later this evening ...

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Belle not tenting anymore

paula eagleholic said...

Did you know if you click on it, it zooms it in?

NatureNut said...

Big Ship in background of Finland!

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Nature, great pics!

paula eagleholic said...

Tenting again

paula eagleholic said...

Is the other Finland osprey nest on yet?

NatureNut said...

Looks like ferry boat --almost gone.

deb said...

I got a picture of all three heronettes and the egg:

3 heros and an egg

Mema Jo said...

I am going to say Good Night & hope to wake up to some sunshine!

Peace to you & yours
Prayers for all needs being said


Nite! ((Hugs))

deb said...

both eagles at Kent 2.

deb said...

There are leaves just starting on the tree in Kent 2.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle at Kent 2

paula eagleholic said...

Nature = where do you see the ferry boat?

paula eagleholic said...

And eagle at Kent 1!!

deb said...

And Kent 2.

NatureNut said...

Good night, Jo & others who are calling it a day.
Glad you liked the pics. Is the same stuff boring? I'm trying to do a little history of what's going on.
Heron pic is great!
I heard & saw what I thought were frogs in shallow creek at farmhouse office today! They were TOADS!!Seems they mate in water as well as lay eggs there! Got some pics I might put on (but I guess not the X-rated one!)

MITS said...

The other osprey nest FINNY's is not on yet, Paula....the osprey nest with the sea eagles has the ferries in the background running back and forth, earlier today, their late afternoon, there was a cruise ship that went by, but it sailed into some fog and I could not get a pic

deb said...

No eagle pictures are boring, Nature!!

NatureNut said...

Paula, Boat left the screen as it kept refreshing. It was WAY in the back moving left to right. Cool. I should have saved a pic.

MITS said...

poor wet Belle, GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Rain has stopped here, no storms here either

paula eagleholic said...

Guess my eyes are tired, I couldn't see it...

Wish it refreshed on its own!

paula eagleholic said...

Duh - I saw it just did

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, I found the Saaksi cam....not back on yet....

couldn't find any other sea eagle cams at present...the one in Holland - the eagle built a new nest and there isn't a cam on it. Did find some cool pics and one possibly in Scotland....have to check it out when the lights are on...might just be a hotel, but hey have reintroduced sea eagles there, they have tags on them like the Channel islands eagles...

paula eagleholic said...

Well folks, gonna hit it for today. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes! It made my day!

deb said...

Sea Eagle, gone that fast.

paula eagleholic said...

Kewl, sea eagle on the nest and bonus ship

deb said...

Night everyone. TTUT

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS

NatureNut said...

Just saw one of those hooded crows fly away at Finland.

Lolly said...

Just came in from our evening around the chiminea fire. Belle was still awake and sheltering the eaglets however it looks like she is asleep now.

Nice to have nest in Finland to watch now!

Lolly said...

Okay....I do not understand what is going on. Looking at the nest in Finland. Presently I do not see and osprey, however when I click on it to zoom in...there is and osprey. And, his position does not change.???????

NatureNut said...

Hi Lolly, I don't know about the Fin cam. Maybe when you click the zoom hasn't refreshed??
Watch WAY in the center background & you might see a ferry boat. I think I saw a big sailboat too awhile ago.
I'm in big trouble---got to get up early & go to work! Too bad I'm a night owl!

NatureNut said...

Good Night!

Lolly said...

Yeah...your in trouble! :) I will sleep til I wake...no alarm...no work. But, I do have to clean house in the morning...no work in the yard. :(

I've been watching for boats, but have not seen any yet.

I am about to turn in, my eyes are telling me to close them!

Lolly said...

Nite all! Belle is asleep, Spidey's web is blowing in the breeze, osprey on nest in Finland.

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE...

movin said...

Good news at BW. Lisa says they have enough bandwith to reduce the Osprey cam to 30 sec. refresh rate.

[:~)]

Jim

floralgirl said...

lol....Apparently I don't have security clearance to view the 30 sec cam. Soggy morning here, quite a fierce storm that passed through. Doesn't look like I can mow the grass today-darn...

paula eagleholic said...
